Hey lady, let me tell you why
I can't live my life without you
(Baby)

Every time I see you walking by, I get a thrill
You don't notice me but in time you will
I must make you understand

I wanna be your man

'Cause if you do, you'll lose a good thing
(Baby)

'Cause what I've got to say
Is sealed with a kiss and a wedding ring

My mind is blind, at times I can't see anyone but you
Those other girls don't matter, no, they can't spoil my view

Words can never say what I feel, it's too intense
I've tried and tried and tried and tried
To tell you how I feel
But I get mixed up
(So mixed up)
